“Step Right Up, step right up...experience the strange, the unexplainable,
the UNSPEAKABLE underworld of our bizarre beasts. All alive, all on stage! ENTER
IF YOU DARE!” —so says Dr. Entomo, the part-man, part-bug host ready to take
you on a journey of discovery.
Is it true? Are they real?! Let Dr. Entomo be your guide as you explore the
wonderful world of bugs in all their strange splendor. Creatures that Glow-In-The-Dark,
Two-Headed Devils and Sumo-Wrestling Beetles challenge your sensibilities and
will fascinate visitors of all ages!
Displayed as a Circus Sideshow, this exhibit features tarantulas, scorpions,
centipedes and other "bugs" as a living collection that acts as a vehicle for
discussing their various life habits and means of survival. Alter egos, masters
of disguise, chemical warfare and outright bluffing are a sampling of the many
ways in which bugs survive and are discussed throughout the show.
With a focus on education and building an appreciation for the complex lives
these bugs lead, several interactive experiences are presented to highlight
some of the more unusual. For instance, did you know that the Giant Vinegaroon
got its name from the fact that, when stressed, they emit a spray of acetic
acid, also known as vinegar? Pump the "Vinegar Extractor" and smell what we're
talking about. And what about those big, shiny black scorpions? Activate the
black light and watch them glow an eerie green.
Suitable for Natural History Museums, Children's Museums, Public Museums, Science
Centers, and any institution wanting to capture the family audience, this exhibit
is family-friendly in its design and content and resonates well with kids of
all ages.
